I had been doing a search of albums released and looking for baritone ukulele players and came across Vic Chestnutt. So far I've been unable to find a photo of him playing a baritone ukulele. I heard Terry Gross interview him on NPR's Fresh Air. He was a songwriter. Has anyone listened to his music? I see Brian Stipe of R.E.M. produced one of his albums.
Vic was critically injured when 18 and used a wheelchair. This video shows him playing a guitar. His right hand dexterity was definitely limited but what a performer.
